There are also a number of *really* bad options available in PHP. What's
your point?
My point, which you seem to have lost, was that it's not necessary to use
something other than the application-server you're already familiar
with/have available/invested in/etc.

I've seen numerous projects that would require investments in excess of $20k
just to get started with an OSS solution, not to mention the ongoing costs
to keep the software updated regularly, fix problems caused by updates, etc.
